Shadowfane (Cycle of Fire trilogy #3)

The concluding novel in the "Cycle of Fire" fantasy trilogy, which began with "Stormwarden" and "Keeper of the Keys". Jaric inherits his father's powers, and as he struggles to successfully assume them, mankind's enemies are growing strong.

Long Synopsis:

Ivainson Jaric, heir to Firelord's legacy, must now assume the powers that destroyed his father. If Jaric survives his ordeal, if he can free the Stormwarden from a prison of ice, then wind and water, fire and earth will once more stand united against Lord Scait and his demon horde. But mankind's enemies grow strong as well... Maelgrim Dark-dreamer, accursed brother of the woman Jaric loves, afflicts the minds of men with nightmares and madness. Changelings and ghouls lay waste the armies of Landfast and Cliffhaven. And, deep within the bowels of Shadowfane itself, an ancient evil stirs to bring on the doom of mortal and demon alike.
